Thanks for your help in all this, Pawel 8) .

Nice report, Andrew :) . Thanks for catching us up.

I asked this there, yesterday, but didn't get a response, so guess I'll ask it here, today ;-) :
Is Bernadette “Blonde Madonna”? Her red hair would seem to make it so :).

Lizzy just who is Bernadette?

Although I am loathe to touch any further on the subject of my hair (which seems to be getting more attention than Britney Spear's) I need to point out that, although Henning is a delightful man, he is colour blind.

still blonde madonna

ps A great report Andrew. I wish I had been able to be there the whole weekend.

I indeed am colour blind and my whole family uses to make fun out of me because of this, well - occasionally. Green and Red is the hardest for me. Anyways. Elke and I were happy to meet Bernadette and Arthur in Toowoomba. We knew them from the Hydra and NY Event. Unfortunately they missed Berlin because of other obligations. BM, I have a great photo of you with Andrew, I could post it here but then again, everyone would see that I am right and you are wrong, eh not blonde.

Andrew, what a lovely report. You are doing so well in expression and style so that everyone is able to enjoy it. Thanks again for everything you made happen. It was a time we will always keep in our heart.

Thanks Elizabeth :D

As for Bernadette, she is not Blonde Madonna. Bernadette is Bernadette Hayes and along with Arthur (Moore) was at the Hydra (2002) and New York (2004) events, so you may have met her at the latter (which I think you were at).

Cheers :)

Thanks BM :!:

I wish you had been there for the whole weekend as well - it was also great to see the lovely Hallelujah Mango T-shirt that Sophia sent you! :D

Cheers :)

Yes, I noticed mention of Bernadette and Arthur having been on Hydra and in N.Y. I didn't remember them from Hydra, so figured it must've been in 2002. Even though I was at the N.Y. Event and both of their names are familiar to me, I don't have a specific recollection of having met them... that means nothing, though, given 250 people in attendance and its now having been so 'long' ago.

So, now we have Madonna in her T-SHIRT!!! But, still no photos! C'mon, one of you...

If you would like to see my report, with several additional photos, you can now access this on the LC Files, using the following link:

http://www.leonardcohenfiles.com/twmb15.html

My apologies that there were not better photos available from the event - I was dismayed to find out (when it was too late) that the selection this year did not do justice to either the event or the range of folk who attended (such as blonde madonna)! :( I need to commission a more focused (excuse the pun) photographer: Diane are you available next time? ;-)

Cheers :)

I'd love to come to Toowoowoooooomba, Andrew. But it's so far :shock: . One day. Nice report! How excellent to have got Ann Vriend along. In Berlin, I thought her Bird on the Wire was out of this world. And Henning, as you say, is like the primed flowers and blossoms.
